| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bifrontal laureate head of Janus depicted facing in opposite directions, occupying the central field in the traditional manner of Republican aes grave coinage; an altar is visible between the two faces at centre. The legend MAGNVS PIVS·IMP·F is inscribed around the periphery, identifying Cnaeus Pompeius Junior as Magnus Pius, Imperator, son of Pompey the Great. The rendering is typical of the late Roman Republican military coinages issued in the western provinces, with a robust, archaic quality characteristic of bronze issues struck under campaign conditions. |

Cnaeus Pompeius Junior struck this issue in Spain during the dying months of the Pompeian resistance, when he and his brother Sextus were rallying what remained of their father's network against Caesar. The moneyer named here, L. Eppius, served as a legionary legate in that campaign — one of the very few instances in Republican coinage where a subordinate officer receives explicit mint credit. The battle of Munda in March 45 BC effectively ended the cause; Cnaeus was hunted down and killed weeks later.
